On May 25, Manhattan Community Board 1 gave their nod of approval to construction of a highly contested, 15-story mega-mosque at the former Park Place Burlington Coat Factory — 600 feet from Ground Zero.

But this is hardly a final word on the matter.

New York City community boards function as mere advisory bodies, with no authority to make legally binding decisions for or against any proposed New York City structure. And while a motion to postpone the vote was defeated, the approval hardly represented resounding community support: only one board member voted no, but ten members abstained.

Nevertheless, the matter concerns far more than New York City planning, zoning, or community board politics. Following jihad doctrine, 19 Muslims attacked the U.S., as a nation, on 9/11. They attacked all nations whose citizens were among the nearly 3,000 murdered. Not surprisingly, the Muslim Gulf states are carefully watching the debate.

Obviously, this matter is no less Earth-shattering to Americans than the erstwhile plans of President Obama to conduct Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s trial in a New York City federal civilian court. The nation spoke in a unified voice against that plan, and stopped it cold. The nation, with a unified voice, can stop construction of any mosque near Ground Zero as well.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, in planning for this 15-story mosque, casts a gauntlet to America — the center of the war against radical Islam.

In 2004, this man assumed trusteeship of land at 96th Street and 3rd Avenue near New York’s Islamic Cultural Center (ICC). Rauf is also an ICC permanent trustee. Until Sept. 28, 2001, the ICC employed Imam Sheik Muhammad Gemeaha, an Al-Azhar University envoy to the U.S. One week later, from the “safety” of Egypt, Gemeaha said “only the Jews” could have perpetrated September 11. If Americans knew, “they would have done to Jews what Hitler did.” Allah says Jews “disseminate corruption in the land” and spread “heresy, homosexuality, alcoholism, and drugs,” he added.

These pronouncements represent institutional discriminatory precepts embedded within Sharia law. Rauf’s associates, who operated under his trusteeship at the 96th Street mosque, uttered them, and not surprisingly, they mirrored Rauf’s own hateful post-9/11 comments.

On May 26, Rauf gave an interview to Sa’da Abdul Maksoud on the well-trafficked Hadiyul-Islam website:

Throughout my discussions with contemporary Muslim theologians, it is clear an Islamic state can be established in more than just a single form or mold. It can be established through a kingdom or a democracy. The important issue is to establish the general fundamentals of Sharia that are required to govern.

Rauf’s statements in Arabic directly contradicted his statements to English speakers — i.e., that the U.S. Constitution is Sharia-compliant:

New laws were permitted after the death of Muhammad, so long of course that these laws do not contradict the Quran or the Deeds of Muhammad … so they create institutions that assure no conflicts with Sharia.

Consider the relevance of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood membership of Rauf’s father alongside Rauf’s own deceptive behavior and speech. In 1965, Muhammed Abdul Rauf (1917-2004) bought two-thirds of the bloc at 96th Street and 3rd Avenue with $1.3 million in funding from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Libya. Rauf withheld information on the Islamic donors until 1984. Only after wrangling for permits for 20 years did Rauf begin construction — at that point, funding sources no longer mattered as construction became a fait accompli. Similarly, upon the 1992 dedication of the 96th Street mosque, founders revealed its $17 million in financing from 46 Islamic nations, all members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Another fait accompli, including plans for an apartment building restricted to Muslims alone. By 2010, the enormous Islamic complex had added two more buildings.

Saudi Arabia founded the OIC in 1969 to promote the “struggle for Islam,” and has been its chief sponsor since. The OIC’s charter includes all Muslim Brotherhood precepts, the foremost being to spread Sharia worldwide. With headquarters in Jedda “pending the liberation of Jerusalem,” the OIC in 1973 established the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) “according to Islamic Sharia principles,” and through it, launched the petrodollar-based Islamic financing market as another way to stealthily spread Islam and Sharia worldwide.

“[A]n Islamic organization must serve God … and ultimately sustain … the growth and advancement of the Islamic way of life,” writes Nasser M. Suleiman in “Corporate Governance in Islamic Banking.” Certainly the 46 OIC members had those Sharia principles in mind when they funded construction of New York’s Islamic Center.

Secrecy surrounding the land purchase and construction financing of the 96th Street mega-mosque emulate the teachings of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna, a colleague of Rauf’s father, who taught Al Azhar University — Islam’s closest equivalent to the Vatican. Rauf fled Egypt’s 1948 crackdown on the MB. His eldest son Feisal was born in Kuwait that year.

MB doctrines require “flexibility” — adapting to each environment on local terms, especially in North America — to force Islamic law on the masses globally. Hiding financing sources are perfect examples of taqiyya, a theologically encouraged practice of deception to advance theocratic, fascist Islamic doctrines.

Like his father, Rauf is probably a stealth Muslim Brother, as are most MB members.

The Muslim Brotherhood founded virtually all Islamic terror organizations operating worldwide today, including al-Qaeda and Hamas. Thus, only propaganda and recruitment chiefs like Alabama-born Omar Hammami — and shills hoping to convince useful idiots the Brothers are genuinely peaceful — advertise their affiliation.

Rauf established ASMA’s Cordoba Initiative in Colorado in 2004, but registered the non-profit in New York only in April 2009. His financial statements look mysterious, too. A Cordoba Initiative project, since at least 2006, has partnered with the Gallup Organization and “a team of Sunni and Shi’a scholars from Morocco to Indonesia” to create “an Islamic legal benchmark for measuring ‘Islamicity’ of a state,” available both publicly and to pundits “and state officials in both the Muslim and Western worlds.”

If the U.S. is Sharia-compliant, and Rauf supports Western democracy and mosque-state separation, why has his New York-based institution initiated this project, funded by Malaysia and many other Muslim nations in the OIC?

Malaysia is not a secular democracy. Its federal government maintains a Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) charged with promoting “the development and advancement of Islamic affairs,” including formulation of “policies for the ADVANCEMENT of Islamic affairs in the country and to safeguard the sanctity of the aqidah and the teachings of Islam.” (Emphasis in original.)

Rauf may well get Saudi funding too: In February 2001, the IDB established its U.S. dollar-denominated Awqaf Properties Investment Fund (APIF) to “develop and invest in accordance with … Islamic Sharia [principles], in Awqaf real estate properties … in [IDB] member countries … and Islamic communities in non-member countries.” Financing applications go — where else? — to OIC founder and chief IDB backer Saudi Arabia, which has worked tirelessly for decades to advance Islamic communities in the most influential non-Muslim nation, the U.S.

OIC countries financed the 96th Street mosque. Why would Rauf not approach them again, particularly since an IDB financing mechanism for projects like his is already in place?

At Tuesday’s meeting, a 9/11 survivor, along with relatives, parents, and dear friends of victims, all spoke eloquently against the mosque. Bereaved mother Cynthia Kane honored her son, firefighter George Kane, and his hundreds of brave colleagues who died fighting to save lives. Another victim’s father poignantly noted that bodily remains of 997 people are still missing. “Where the hell do you think they are? They are on that [holy] ground … and building a mosque over them is truly insensitive.” 9/11 Families leader Debra Burlingame professed happiness that the controversy might encourage Americans to finally ask: “What is Sharia?”

The best route to stopping construction may be through the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service. According to a Certified Public Accountant and Act for America member, available American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) tax filings raise several red flags.

Very little ASMA information is available on the non-profit organization from Guidestar, a commercial service that provides 990 filings from thousands of tax-exempt charitable organizations, many much smaller than ASMA. However, the CPA reports that many documents required for public examination are missing from Guidestar’s ASMA files. Federal law requires ASMA to provide tax returns for public inspection, but evidently it has not done so, the CPA says.

Director since 2005, Daisy Kahn — Rauf’s interior designing, Kashmir-born wife — apparently never filed a required informational return or regular annual reports: “shocking for a charity with over $1 million in grants just last year.”

Several other issues indicate ASMA’s financial statements are not “in accordance with accounting standards for nonprofit organizations.” An organization established in 1998 should have two-year comparisons, not the one-year comparison provided in the fiscal 2009 statement. Failing that, ASMA must provide comparative statements in its notes or a letter to stakeholders — which it also does not do.

Likewise, ASMA claims to be a 501(c)3 organization. They do present a letter of determination (albeit, misstated as being granted in “1988”). But ASMA financial statements do not specify under which code ASMA’s tax-exempt status falls.

ASMA also fails to list required future lease payments, although its auditor reportedly specializes in non-profit groups and purports to follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). “I’m shocked by all these” oversights, said the CPA, who has merely begun to list GAAP requirements on which ASMA flunks.

Maybe there’s just too much information Rauf and ASMA don’t want the public to know. Perhaps the IRS should institute a new taqiyya-busters division. Meanwhile, the public can shower the IRS with complaints on these evidently numerous tax-code violations.

I just got this email from NY “Mayor” bloomberg. I’m appalled by the nature of his defiance, absurd, ridicules, and non compliant explanation he rams down the American people throats. If America is to be tolerant of Muslims, and the building of a “mosque community center” wherever Muslim choose.
(1) Why then send our young man and woman half way around the world “mind you only to Muslim countries” to die for our freedom?
(2) If as you say “peaceful” remember that community center in London which inside was all peaceful but once you stepped outside, the radicals were waiting to entice you to join them and cause mayhem, the answer of the Imam was that he had no control of what was occurring outside his place of worship.
(3) And please do not forget that all peaceful Imam that warned and collaborated with the bridge bomber from NJ to NY.
(4) and that so religious, peaceful and trustworthy Psychiatrist in OUR military that killed so many of our young men and women in the name of Islam.
This “Mosque community center” is an enticement, cover up, in your face!! Calling for tolerance and rapprochement.
You see Mr. Bloomberg, you don’t see beyond your liberal, progressive mind. You give a Muslim a finger he WILL nonchalantly take your arm and your life, the Koran justifies it. Your naiveté is beyond comprehension. You are saying not all Muslims are BAD, why then every Muslim on the internet vows to kill all the non believers of Islam infidels. That is you and me.
Mr. Bloomberg TAKE NOTE from France, England, Holland and so many European countries. They were so liberal, tolerant and welcoming of Muslims, and now they are biting their fingers. Muslims are taking over whole cities, borrows, suburbs and inducting Sharia law and will not allow a non-Muslim to enter or live there.

Mr. Bloomberg, are you willing to take the responsibility for what’s going to come out of this venture? Will you sign an affidavit to your constituents and the families of the victims that have perished on 9/11 that no harm will come to them in the future out of this “Mosque Community center”? I know Giuliani would have never allowed it.

Wait until it’s built and a few thousand innocent people are praying in the early morning. Take 2 planes and crash them into the mosque. Hold a vigil on the sight of the rubble afterwards and have the President call for tolerance against those white people who bombed the mosque. After enough time goes by, say 10 years and people start to forget, build a large church on the grounds of the former mosque. Sound familiar?

As long as the rich people(, the Clintons, Kerrys, Obamas, Spielbergs etc) run America the Muslims will be given a free hand to do whatever they want to. The average American has absolutely no say whatsoever in what goes on in New York or anywhere else. The US government now belongs to a small elite group of parasites.

Actually, I’ve been reading the Koran and the Hadiths for years. The problem here is not that I’m dhimmi, which I’m not, but the worthless slugs running NYC are. If that mosque is built we need to minimise its impact. A 1776 high WTC II would do just that.

I put very little faith in any functionary of our feckless government leadership – and none at all that they would take any action against this group of thugs no matter the red flags waving. Any charges would likely be prosecuted through Holder’s office – the same office that let some Black Panthers off the hook in what appeared to be a slam dunk case.

No – these Bozos would rather prosecute or threaten average citizens – remember Big Sis’s assessment of possible violence from returning vets and Tea Party members?
No word from her concerning left wing violence – which actually does happen.

Once the Waqf is established (waqf: an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law, typically denoting a building or plot of land for Muslim religious or charitable purposes) it is a permanent embassy for the Islamic Ummah. As such, it can never be demolished, moved or closed down.

(Thus, either way, if the mosque (excuse me, “community center”, euphemism alert) were to be constructed and later forced to close, for the inevitable subversive activities that will take place within its walls, even its closure would be encitement to jihad within the ethos of Islam)

Mr. Shoebat* also cites the complete un-trustability of official Islamic organizations operating within the United States, ISNA, CAIR, AMPAC, MSU…) and cites a couple of websites that are probably well worth exploring for the truth on all this stuff.

*(a former Palestinian “terrorist” as I recall, a guy who definitely knows what he’s talking about, from the inside out)

Ms. Lappan: I am a mulim from Iran and I work in NYC and 9/11 is very fresh in my mind. there is nothing more i hate than a mosque. I just hate them… in fact my sister was in town and she is religious and asked me to take her to the mosque and I told her I do not know where one is. of course I did… she then asked me to her to church an said it is the same god and I took her to St. Patricks.

it seems the guy who is trying to build this mosque has a shady and checkered past… my question for you is this:
what if it was someone trying to build the mosque who has no ties to any extremism etc.. would you still object the mosque being built?

I can’t speak for Ms. Lappan, but in” normal times” I would have no objection to a Mosque in NYC. Tell me, would you and “normal Muslims” have an objection to a Cathedral or Synagogue in Mecca? Madina? Qom? And how long do you think a Cathedral or Synagogue and its congregations would survive currently? A month? A year? Maybe never?

Dear Ms Rove It is a matter of sensitivity and not an insult to moderate muslims(those who know that no one knows when it comes to the creator). Would it be tasteful to build a mausoleum for J W Boothe next to Lincoln’s Memorial or a monument for Hitler next to a synagoge? I am sure there are similar examples you can think of even pertaining to some of your family members.

As this issue goes forward everyone who is clueless about the true nature of Islam [that would be most of our citizens] will naturally start spouting off about the 1st Amendment and its clause about making no laws prohibiting the free excercise of religion. Muslim groups will certainly latch on to this as their head-spinning arrogance knows no bounds. Nobody is trying to prohibit Muslims from practicing their religion, after all there are numerous Mosques all over NYC and surrounding communities. My understanding is that this building has already been used for Muslim services from time to time and there has been no outcry about it. This is not about a Mosque per se, it is about constructing an imposing monument to Islam in a place specifically chosen to cause maximum anguish amongst the infidels.

I’m Muslim, and was in NYC 09/11/2001. I know Sheikh Faisal. He is a good man. He’s lead a Masjid(Mosque for non arabic speakers) in the Tribecca area for over 20 years. I’m also an american citizen by birth. So that makes me Muslim-American. George Clinton penned lyrics to a song that say “Free your mind, and your @ss will follow”. Most do not understand the structure of The Holy Qur’an, thus, they’re in no position to interpret the translation they’re reading. So they’ll pick insightful verses taken out of context. It seems to me that, as per most of the comments posted, holding 1 billion Muslims(worldwide) responsible for the actions of a few misguided individuals, is not what the framers of this country had in mind. If anyone involved in building the new Islamic center had or has ties with the authors of 9/11, I’m sure this project would have been halted in its tracks, long ago. This is pure prejudice and hatred. Like the Sheikh, I condemn terrorism. There is no Islamic sanction for it and I challenge anyone to say there is. It is a known fact, the majority of us(Muslims) do not subscribe to this school of thought. As for those who are concerned about what goes on in other countries, let them handle their affairs. Seems to me we have enough issue right here to deal with. And since my ancestors were brought here by force, I’m not going anywhere, and I will always me Muslim. So I’m one of Millions that will continue striving as ALLAH(swt) and HIS Messenger(Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) have prescribed. By the way, next time you’re buy the Brooklyn Museum, check out who’s name is inscribed on the outside as 1 of hte most influential people(Mvhaamad).

Your comments fly in the face of 1400 years of conquest – and of building mosques on the rubble of murder and victory. How about explaining that?

Maybe the 1 billion of you just go along to get along?

What’s so different from the past 1400 years that would make building this mosque different in light of 1400 years that say otherwise? I see this mosque being built as a sign of victory over the ‘great satan’ in the eyes of the muslim world.

If you guys are so peace loving how about letting us build a Christian church in one of your countries? And don’t BS me – even having a Bible in most muslim countries is a crime – a church would be a great offense. Get the idea?

Maybe not..but we sure do act like candy asses when it comes to speaking our minds..or even having an honest opinion and stating it. We’re too afraid of our shadows, or we are too ill informed to even have an opinion.

You should follow your own advice: “Free your mind, and your @ss will follow”. The guy you consider as a model was a caravan robber, a pirate, an assassin, a war lord, a sex pervert, a slave trader. At the end of his life, Mohamed said: “I was victorious with terror.” All documented in the authentic biography by Ishaq.

It is an indisputable fact that Islam institutionalizes discrimination against women and non-Muslims, effectively puts an end to freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, and ensures perpetual warfare amongst mankind. Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is not a flawless faith received from a god on high. Muhammad was not the perfect man. This “religion” is so perverse in fact, that it demands that those who leave it be killed. Muslims who know of Muhammad’s questionable behavior (murder, assassination, thievery, pedophilia, etc.)must really be ashamed of following this lunatic.Muhammad was a full blown madman who will be recorded by history as the most influential notorious criminal and deceitful human being to have ever lived.

What you people describe as “terrorism” is in extreme contradiction to what you people call “jihad”, which in reality, are the same frigging thing. It just suits you people’s purpose of the islamization of the planet to call a duck a rabbit. You can fool some of the people some of the time….a muslim-American? Take the hyphen out & return to a muslim country, we don’t want any more hyphenated creeps in my country.

jimilmuslim, try using those arguments with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafta Sultan or Walid Shoebat. I am sure they know a little bit more about Islamic teachings than you. They are warning the west against what those people are bringing to North America from those other countries that you speak of. Maybe you are fooled too. But I doubt it. I think your post is speaking deception to mollify the American masses. Once people figure out what is really happening they will resist.

What does that really mean…I’m a Muslim? If someone asked me what I was (even though it is obvious) I’d answer “a man” When will you so-called Muslims enter the 21st century?
Be yourself not what some other brainwashed control freak has told you to be. Break free of the cords that bind you. Believe me the only thing that will eventually happen to such close minded peoples will be hatred toward your kind. Like it or not, the Muslim people will end up hated so much they WILL be eradicated. Be a person, a human being, not a clone of someone elses disturbed thoughts and outmoded religious zealosy. Say it “I’m a man, an individual” It really isn’t so hard to do. Until you can think in that way, you will never acheive enlightenment.

As Americans, we had better put a screeching halt on the building of this NY City mosque, and all other places in the USA. As Americans, we need to shut down the Souther Border of the USA, secure our ports, and then enforce immigration laws strenuously and get back to some fiscal and social sanity in the USA. We now have politicians who are openly anti-USA, including our own elected POTUS. we now have members of congress, such as the entire congressional black caucus, who embrace Castro and other communist dictators. We now have subversives at all levels of government, who are subverting this nation openly. We now have illegal invaders who openly riot and protest, and burn U.S. flags and raising foreign flags. We have terrorist groups such as LaRaza, a Latinon racist organization, declaring that the Southwest USA belongs to Mexicon. We now have high school teachers who are teaching students that they, the Latino students, should raise arms against the USA. We now have Muslims infiltrating our country silently waiting until the time is right for them to act. And, we have a lot of complacent citizens who are still watching TV while rioting is going on in the streets.

Wake Up America. We have to take our country back, and we have to look at Islam for what it is: A subversive foreign religious-political organization that has world domination as it’s primary aim. We have to outlaw this terrorist organization posing as a religion. We have to put an end to LaRaza, a foreign racist organization that is bent on subverting this nations laws. We have foreign invaders who do not recognize our traditions, values, culture, language or borders. It is time to Take This Country back, and then Clean House of all these Illegal Invaders from Mexico, From the Middle East, Eastern Europe or any other place where elements hostile to this nation come from. Wake Up America. We have to take this country back. That is why we have to begin electing True Conservative American Patriots. The goons and subversives in DC have sold out the rest of the country, and Obama is the lead subversive.

It’s difficult to determine which is the worst advice: the article, which advocates siccing the IRS on the ASMA for tax irregularities, Calatrava’s “a loving Muslim would never suggest to build a mosque on top of ground zero,” or the illiteracy of jimilmuslim, and his “It is a known fact, the majority of us(Muslims) do not subscribe to this school of thought” (violent jihad).

Rauf and his cohorts should be indicted for at least being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, just as any gangster’s small fry button men were convicted of capital crimes. You won’t get any cooperation, however, from the Treasury Department, because it’s headed by Timothy Geithner, a tax-evading pal of Barack Obama, who “reaches out” to our enemies, the Muslim “street.”

Perhaps Calatrava was speaking tongue-in-cheek, but I know of no “loving Muslims” who would make such a suggestion. Rank-and-file Muslims keep their mouths shut, lest they be punished by their Muslim brothers. It’s in the creed.

No, jimilmuslim, I know no such “fact.” I don’t know what the “majority” of Muslims subscribe to. You rank-and-filers don’t have much to say when your mullahs and imams speak and call for Sharia to trump the Constitution. You don’t dare contradict them, even if you disagreed with them. Your creed prescribes punishment for dissenting with the Ummah. And, explain to me all those Muslims, here and abroad, who cheered and passed out candy when their “brothers” brought down the WTC. Not in the “majority”?

Every time I see a photo of hundreds of Muslims bowing to Mecca, it’s an invitation to kick ass (literally) shouting, “It’s a rock, you damned fools! And you’re bowing in submission to a barbarian who’d just as soon kill you as any infidel if you looked at him the wrong way! Then again, you wouldn’t know what he looks like, would you?”

Amazing. Muslims bow to Mecca, Mohammed’s burial site. Does anyone bow to Braunau am Inn, the birthplace of another “prophet,” Hitler, or to the Berlin bunker he died in?

If the people of NYC allow this blasphemous act it’s nothing short of a slap in the face to those 3,000 Americans who died that terrible day, if allowed to proceed I will have lost all respect for anyone who lives there and doesn’t protest loudly. This is analogous to building a monument in Arlington National Cemetery celebrating the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Way over the line (miles over) of political correctness, too many special interest groups with minorities running the show for the majority, our culture and sovereignty getting more and more diluted for the price of a vote, INSANITY! One more case of adding insult to injury at the expense of the American people. Vote or remove, by any means, these traitors out of office. Many of these issues are much too serious to waste time discussing while our enemies are developing a stronghold within our homeland using our liberties and laws against us. WAKE UP PEOPLE before the stage is completely set for your children’s children to curse you for allowing the unthinkable to happen! With victory you get to write history. Chances are future generations may never get to know the truth at the rate things are happening in Washington. I’m an x-New Yorker who got tired of the weather and congestion but miss friends and family. Now I’m stuck on the left coast trying to survive oversized corrupt government, redistribution of wealth and being over run by illegals. Jon

For starters, let’s call it what it is, The Jihad Victory Mosque. To open 9/11/2011. Maybe New Yorkers and visitors could discourage this submission to Islam by tossing a little bacon on the site when they happen to walk by. And what to do with doggie scoops? The Jihad Victory Mosque site is accepting donations. A few hundred people giving the Muslim Brotherhood a little token encouragement to get lost every day might do the trick. Bored cruising Broadway, kids? Take some pork to the Jihad Victory Mosque site. Something to do after the movies or when the clubs close.

Back to the topic . . . There used to be Federal laws saying that foreign agents and their representatives needed to be registered with the Feds as such. Then their funding was subject to Federal scrutiny. Is that possible now? Also, which committee has the ultimate authority to green light or stop this project? Anyone know?

Most do not understand the structure of The Holy Qur’an, thus, they’re in no position to interpret the translation they’re reading. So they’ll pick insightful verses taken out of context.

I’ve read this argument many times, this cliché, tantamount to: oh, the Koran is so deeply mystical you, a westerner, could never ever “get it”, especially if you can’t read it in the original Arabic.

The Koran is, in fact, something of an admixture, allegedly of Mohammed’s early impartations from Mecca (more “spiritual” in tone) and later impartations after Mohammed had fled to Medina (more practical in tone).

It is said to have been written down/structured/organized (the order of Sura) some 150 to 200 years after Mohammed’s death. Mohammed neither read nor wrote.

The body of shari’a and hadith have been elaborated over the centuries, by Islam’s “holy men”.

Mohammed himself, as I recall, set forth that understanding was directly between the worshipper and Allah, no holy men necessary.

For the record, I consider it to be child abuse that children in madrassas are forced to memorize the Koran in Arabic to the detriment of modern texts and knowledge, especially in madrassas, for example, in Pakistan where the children don’t even speak Arabic.

Consider the relevance of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood membership of Rauf’s father alongside Rauf’s own deceptive behavior and speech.

Here is a paragraph from the Brotherhood’s elaborate and detailed plan for North America.

From the IKHWAN handbook, 1991:

4- Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all
the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is
a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western
civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s
religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level
of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared
ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and
work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes,
and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to
slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be
equal.

If you have time & interest to read the whole thing, the English starts on page 15.

It is a historical fact that Muslims have built their mosques atop their conquests as symbols of dominance. In fact, the original purpose of the minaret was purely a symbol of conquest, while the use of the minaret as a call to prayer was simply convenient.

This is another sign of aggression, plain and simple, and I refuse to acknowledge it’s existence.

Andrew McCarthy (he prosecuted the blind sheikh, the guy who tried to blow up the WTC in 1993…) spells it out for PC New Yorkers, that their lazy endorsement of “religious” freedom in supporting this mosque brings great joy to jihadists and the jihadist agenda.

There is some elaborate dance, some pas de deux, an unholy alliance between America’s left and jihad.

This President, Eric Holder and the mind-numbed national (in)security guy John Brennan lead the charge on this side while the Muslim Brotherhood & al-Qaradawi (devotees of Hassan al-Banna/Sayyid Qtub) and many others lead the charge to spread the Islamic legal code, sharia law, throughout the Earth.

A national study conducted by Mediacurves.com asked about American opinions regarding plans to build a mosque and Islamic community center near “Ground Zero” of the World Trade Center attacks. Results found that Republicans were the least favorable of plans to build the mosque, with the majority of Republicans (63%) reporting that it was “not at all appropriate.” Also, 37% of Democrats and 39% of Independents indicated that the plans were “not at all inappropriate.” The majority of all political parties reported that it was disrespectful to the victims of the World Trade Center attacks to build a mosque near ground zero. More results can be seen at http://www.mediacurves.com/NationalMediaFocus/J7849-GroundZeroMosque/Index.cfm

This is a rediculous discussion. Point blank this Mosque should not be allowed. It is in poor taste, it is devisive, and frankly there is no common sense being applied by those that support this effort to build the thing. The level of stupidity and insanity being shown by so many people in this country is disheartening.

I recently heard Glenn Beck defend the building of that Islamic Monster Mosque, that Mega-Mosque at the site of the former World Trade Center in downtown New York City.

His defense of that project is predicated on his conviction that no government in our democratic republic should have the right to prohibit any religious entity in America from building a church, temple, or mosque nor to prohibit the free exercise of any religion anywhere on our soil: http://tiny.cc/vvm19

Beck was defending the First Amendment to the Constitution which reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The left has twisted the meaning and intent of the ”establishment clause” for years now and the Supreme Court has concurred that it means a strict separation of church and state even though those words never appear in the Constitution and in spite of the essential Christian religiousness of the Founding Fathers.

That brings us back to Glenn Beck and his defense of the planned Monster Mosque within spitting distance of the remains of the WTC. Not coincidentally, the 13-story ”Cordoba House” is scheduled to open on Park Place on the eleventh anniversary 0f the 9/11 attacks, September 11th, 2011.

The tenor of this blog goes to show that religion is the bane of humanity. We would all be better off if everyone just relied on and used their own intelligence to determine how to conduct themselves among others. I still contend that Islam is the worst of the lot and is a metaphysical cancer in the ranks of humanity. Quotes from Islamic religious texts demonstrate that the pathway to peace is not achieved through its theological ramblings. Pope Benedict was correct and should not have apologized. It is very, very naive to think that Islam is benign.
Let’s try a little freedom of speech and see how long it is permitted to posted for all to see. Mohammed is a dog copulating pedophile and Allah is a pig. For that I should die, mere words. Okay, so Muslims are offended, so what? From their viewpoint they should be, but it does not warrant taking a life. By design Allah gave us a free will. Muslims demand that our free will be stripped from us by their religious police, e.g., the Revolutionary Guard. This is in violation of Allah’s design and is a sin of pride by placing themselves above the wishes of Allah that we have a free will. Islam is so irrational that only someone duped since childhood could subscribe to it, or someone threatened with being murdered unless they submit. It cannot compete in an open market of ideas, that is why it is so prone to terrorism. It is the only way that it can survive. It cannot stand on its own merits, it has none.
All of the posts that itemize why Islam is dangerous and hypocritical have very valid observations. I see none of the Muslims acknowledging that these concerns have merit and are real. I have not seen any offer to grant those building permits for churches and synagogues in Mecca and Medina. All that I hear from Muslims is, trust us and we are peaceful, while the historical record is very much to the contrary. Of course, if you are Muslim you do not feel threatened by Islam because you are not a target. All you have to do is keep quiet and let the terrorists do your dirty work of converting the world by sword and blood letting. At this rate there will be no meeting of minds and we will be engaged in a war for many of years to come. Either the rule of reason will eventually win or the tyranny of Islam will prevail, no middle ground. Islam is inviting a terrible reckoning that, I believe, will lead to a nuclear war. Iran, Al Qaieda, or Pakistan will be the first to use nukes and then all bets are off on the fury that will fall on the world of Islam. However, Muslims are comfortable with their bigoted practices and will continue with their game plan of world hegemony. Americans are getting tired Islam’s dictatorship in the countries they rule and the lack of human rights. Islam, your day is coming and it will not be pretty. It is too bad Muslims are such a flock of dumb sheep incapable of thinking for themselves. Many good people among them will be led to the slaughter by their radical imams, ayatollahs, and foolish fatwahs that they blindly follow without challenge.
Do a reality check. Muslims will be swept aside by their own internal forces of evil and will suffer the a fate of mass die off when the Islamic radicals push the world over the edge and into the abyss. In the world’s history there has never been a lack for another Hitler to lead this or that faction into total conflict. This time, those crazy people that write that sort of history are coming out of the Islamic world. Mankind never learns its lessons and religious texts are often the justification used for violence. Religion is used as a cover because the followers are instructed that the “word” cannot be questioned, it comes directly from God, Allah, Yaweh, Baal, etc. In truth all religious writings are the invention of men who wish to control and manipulate innocent people to their own political ends. Sorry, but that is the truth and any good people that adhere to Islam are merely pawns to put lipstick and that pig.
In the meantime, let’s make sure that the ground zero mosque is never built. Its construction would send all the wrong messages to the Muslim world and will only embolden them to commit ever more egregious atrocities.

We smile in the face of some people, although our hearts curse them
-Abu Darda

Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them taking (as it were) security. Qur’an 3:28

Hidden agenda, pure and simple. Most western governments are pandering to Muslim’s,
allowing these would be democracy destroyers to infiltrate and overturn western culture. Why? Well if I knew, the agenda wouldn’t be hidden. However, there MUST be a reason, a plan from the highest powers within democratic nations.
Sum up…Why would leaders of democratic nations allow Muslims to gain such power? What possible reason/s could be behind such action? Now there MUST be thousands of citizens in New York alone that can offer the answers. Search your minds for those answers.
Obama is a clue. How the hell did he become president of the worlds most democratic country? Think about it and search more than your minds; search your souls.
There is at present an enemy within. The American people actually voted for that enemy…why? Surely those self same voters should have realised that Obama wasn’t “for” America, had no love for the country. How could the voters get it so wrong? Especially after the events with the Twin Towers. Could it be that democratic governments are allowing Muslims to gain power so that they (the Muslims) are then seen as a threat to democracy and in becoming so, viable for total destruction? I know; far fetched…
Its just a thought. I, for one, would be interested in the thoughts of all proud and loyal “true” Americans. Take care, as while Obama is president, you need all the care you CAN take.

On what may appear to be a seemingly unimportant note… In the UK it is illegal to listen to a radio scanner. Such devices can be confiscated as users could receive private transmissions..Police, etc.
However, if one is Muslim in the UK, they are allowed to own radio scanners for “call to prayer”
Those self same radio scanners are still capable of receiving private transmissions, police, etc. Right…

My prophet is Jesus Christ. He came in peace and asked for peace and love among mankind. He did not seek out material wealth or pleasures of the flesh.

The prophet Mohammed took on many wives… one wife, Aisha, was 6 years old when wed to Mohammed and their marriage consummated when she turned 9 years old. Mohammed spoke of taking lands and wealths and life from those who challenged his authority or beliefs.

Freedom of religion is a valuable tenet of American society. However, when a religion is based upon hate, war and discrimmination it should not be recognized as a religion… but rather as a philosophy that imposes its will upon the freedom of peaceful religions rightfully protected by our Constitution.

Any religion that treats women in such a manner is shameful and is NOT in line with our American way. We must draw a line here… there is NO reason to tolerate such abhorrent practices.

“Any religion that treats women in such a manner is shameful and is NOT in line with our American way.”

You mean like paying college educated women 75 cents on the dollar for equivalent work to men? Or deeming that women are more worthy in almost every way if they are dressed as sex toys to constantly stroke our delicate male egos? Or ascribing to “old boys” networks that allow men to get away with personal violations of women daily, with little threat of recourse against them?

That’s a great idea, Steve. How about the idea of burying the terrorists bums with slabs of pork so they wont get their 72 virgins (or is it 73). Although it sounds like a bizarre and childish thing to do, this is bizarre and childish culture were talking about. Pork sausage, it’s a real treat!

They should be killed off like rats. Lets take the gloves off our military and the dogs loose…spill their blood, rip them up the belly…shoot them in the guts…advancing constantly and not innot interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy’s balls…kick the living shit out of him all of the time. We deal with an enemy who sports no uniform and has no border… we deal with an enemy that has never EVER conceded anything. And the quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker our boys can go home.
